Monday Reflection | 1 Peter 4:7-11

Passage:
7 The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. 8 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. 9 Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: 11 whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
(1 Peter 4:7–11 ESV)

Song:
Day by Day by Isaac Wardell and Lowana Wallace

Lyrics:
Server you remind us of our Savior's bowl and towel
Teacher you are raising up a child to be kind
Lawyer give us hope
That justice one day will surround us

May God's kingdom come
On earth His will be done
Lord be close to us
Lord have mercy on us
Lord please put Your hand on us
Day by day

Farmer you are working for a table full of bounty
Painter with each color you are teaching us to see
Nurse yours are the healing hands
That touch the poor and broken

Carpenter you frame a house
For those who need protection
Laborer you lift a heavy burden for the weak
Leaders build a city
That all children may rejoice in

Prayer:
This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen.
